A lot of tubes sound really really good in the Elise topology. All FA owners are indeed lucky, that way.

Hey folks,

This past weekend I attended the Philadelphia meet I brought with me the Feliks Elise and based on some of your comments and advice, I think I did really good, check out their comments. I was just able to put Mullards as power and Psvanes as drivers, folks were enchanted with the setup. The success was mostly in part for all your comments in this forum.

Cheers,

M

I'm hoping they do the local spring Head-Fi meet near me. I also want to show off the Elise.

I know what you mean. After a long day, can't beat some mellow chill out music and some warm tubes, C3g/EL3N is now one of my fave combos, a near perfect blend.

Apologies if you already know about these, found them recently, just lovely.

Hello Scutey...

Yes, love Getz but mostly have him on Vinyl. Gerry Mulligan, too...
Will stream the "Getz plays Jobim" - perfection!

Also agree about C3g and EL3N...they pair so wonderfully in this amp. Tried some other drivers last night but not the magic of C3g with these powers.
Ying and Yang, these too.



Ended my evening with this wonderful album:

Is $240usd too much for a pair of EL3N?

Yes!! They are avail brand new from old stock for much less here:

If you are in the USA, I might be interested in going in on some. Shipping to USA from overseas is high, not worth it for a single tube, but probably okay for a few.

I think @UntilThen fund this seller some time back, they say they still have them available...

 

[aqsw]

Way TOO much!!!

 

[UntilThen]

That's right. I just spoke to Peter of Acoustics Dimension recently and he has lots of new EL3N with original boxes for 25 euros each. Just email him and he will invoice you. You can find the email on the AD website.

Also, as UntilThen has pointed out in the past...using EL3N's as your powers, reduces the gain of the amp. So it is probably only suitable for high impedance cans....

 

[Scutey]

I've just received my second lot of EL3N from A.D., they are always helpful and usually ship the same or next day.

That's only true when using c3g and 4 x EL3Ns as power tubes. Using 2 x EL3Ns as drivers and 4 x EL3Ns as power tubes, gain is back to normal. Don't know why there's a drop in gain using c3g and EL3Ns,
